Is Chapman the Missing Piece for the Red Sox Bullpen Puzzle?

The Red Sox are making moves, snatching up Aroldis Chapman. Is this a genius move or a desperate gamble? While Chapman boasts impressive strikeout numbers and undeniable heat, his control issues are a glaring concern. Can he find the consistency needed to thrive in high-leverage situations, or will his walks continue to haunt him? With Hendriks returning from injury, what role will Chapman ultimately fill? Is he a closer, setup man, or a wild card waiting to explode?

Boston seems determined to make a splash this offseason. Does this signing signal a shift in their strategy? Are they prioritizing short-term gains over long-term stability? How will this impact their pursuit of other big names like Juan Soto? Is their payroll flexibility enough to build a true contender, or are they spreading themselves too thin?

Weigh in, Red Sox fans! Is Chapman the answer to their bullpen woes, or another expensive experiment destined to fail?
